Flowers are the traditional hair accessory for a flamenco dancer - and the bigger, the better (like the flower clip on the right)!

Hair combs are also traditional, but I have to confess I'm not a huge fan, mainly because I have fine soft hair so hair combs don't hold well.  Because they can be such a hazard on the dance floor if they fall out,  I also don't recommend them if you're a student - or even a professional who dances in a troupe rather than solo - unless you are really confident they're very securely in place.  Two large flowers, like the image on the right, are just as lovely.

However, there's no denying some of the genuine Spanish peinetas are almost works of art and can look absolutely fabulous in place.
